I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.

Everyone in the world knows this. It does not matter.

Everyone knows its Cashew nut. Doesn't it grow on the end of the fruit or something, does that have something to do with the 'why' part?

People with an interest in nuts. Not that i've got a particular interest in nuts, merely curious as to the answer of the question.

Excellent answer btw mslif. If you knew that offhand, kudos.

Again, there is a better reason why.
